K-Pop Group NewJeans Vows to Continue Label Battle Despite Court Setback: ‘This Fight Is Necessary’


Following a South Korean court blocking their attempt to leave their record label Ador, K-pop phenomenon NewJeans say they will continue to fight.

In their first interview since a South Korean court blocked their attempt to leave record label Ador, K-pop phenomenon NewJeans told the BBC they will continue to fight despite the setback. The court ruling, which ordered NewJeans — made up of Haerin, Hanni, Minji, Danielle and Hyein — to cease all “independent” activities while their case against Ador is ongoing, came as a “shock” to the group, who learned of the decision while rehearsing for a performance in Hong Kong. While the length of their hiatus remains uncertain, with Ador expressing hope to meet with the group soon, NewJeans insists they don’t feel protected enough to return to the label.
